Neanderthal man walks among us, Poland's far-right says

It's my understanding (don't have time to research right now) that Neanderthals had a differently-shaped rib cage. If this is so, why not produce an x-ray of a living person with that sort of bone structure? I've never seen such a thing.

We now have a significant amount of DNA from Neanderthal sources. The analysis is not complete, but any interbreeding in the last 100,000 years is somewhere between extremely unlikely and impossible.

That reminds me...what's Dan Dierdorf doing now?

I always expect a response. Not necessarily an informed response, but I have never encountered a creationist who allowed lack of knowledge to impede verbal production.

LOL! Indeed. :-)

Neanderthals ? Big deal. Papa G. claims that people lived at the same time together with dinosaurs.

"A scientist showed me a picture of an American boxer.

Yep.

It's been well over a full day now, with no response.

Well over a full day. Gee, who would have thought that someone might have something to do besides post to FR.

Dave's had time to post a couple of new threads, not to mention several dozen other posts. He has openly admitted to being too ignorant to discuss evolution rationally, and has also said this of the people on his ping list. So I don't expect an informed response.

I see. . .so you think you're the center of his universe or something.

"It's my understanding that Neanderthals had a differently-shaped rib cage."

I saw the same "make believe" Science documentary on Discovery channel (or PBS) this week about Neanderthals. The darwinist-in-charge even admitted no complete skeletons have been found and he then proceeded to take bits and pieces from many sources and wire them together - and then proclaimed "this creature" had wider ribs and no waist. What a load of BS. One other researcher said that "this person" was well equipped for the cold or something. Speculation by people who already know the answer is dangerous. All in all the documentary gave me the impression that the Neanderthal was similar to the aborigines in Australia but heavier.

Hang on there pal. You're talking to fan numero uno.
Okay okay rocking in the free world is annoying, but i just like his style.

"The analysis is not complete"

It will never be complete, dude.

Sorry, mtDNA does not match.

[js1138]

Sorry, mtDNA does not match.

And we'll have some DNA pretty soon.

Yeah, yeah!!! Let Americans know that Poland is ruled by "subhumans". Well done, Mr. Lizol!

You said so.
I'd rather say by idiots. At least some of them.

[lizol]

Well, Vox, I think that you - as a strong supporter of the current government - should be the first one to ridicule those idiots, who make fun of it by they moronic comments and statements - like the one being discussed here.

If I were you I'd consider Giertychs as fifth-columnists.
